Chapter 801: Before Leaving the Capital

“Hahahahaha… Not only did a bunch of Longmen experts die, but we also lost over 300 elite fighters. On top of that, you swindled us out of 13 Life and Death Dream Pills. Haha! Meng Yun must have looked really funny handing over those pills. It’s a shame I wasn’t in the capital at the time; otherwise, I would’ve definitely captured the scene.”
After learning about what had happened during the day from Kai Xin, Xiao Bei seemed to have let out a huge sigh of relief. He walked with brisk steps, full of energy.
“13 Life and Death Dream Pills—although it’s not a big deal for Yipin Tang, spending them at a time like this is still quite costly.” Mo Mo also chuckled lightly for once.
“By the way, what happened to those people from Longmen?”
“We’re not sure yet, but Meng Yun definitely won’t let them stay in Yipin Tang.” Kai Xin walked ahead, answering while constantly scanning the treasures on the stalls along the street.
“With Longmen completely destroyed by Kai Xin, we’re rid of a thorn in our side. At least we don’t have to worry about them sneaking into the Mu family’s territory during this time.”
Yin Hu and Xiao Bei nodded slightly.
“With Bai Xiaosheng watching over them, those people from the training squad probably won’t even dare to use the internet these days…”
“The most important thing now is to prepare for the big battle.”
“Brother Lei is almost here in the capital, bringing many elite fighters with him—Feng Wu Cai Yi, Yi Tong, Bao Long. Your classmates will also join us before dawn… Besides, Lin Xiao, Mo Feng, and Hong Chen have also arrived in the capital. Together with the people from Xi Feng Lou, I think Yipin Tang will have to be extremely cautious when guarding their headquarters.”
“…”
Kai Xin ignored Xiao Bei’s suggestive words. Having experienced this in his past life, he knew that even though many top experts had gathered in the capital, it wasn’t certain that Yipin Tang’s headquarters could be taken down. Not to mention that destroying the foundation of the gang would take a whole day and night. Even the tens of thousands of Yipin Tang experts in the capital weren’t easy to deal with.
Yipin Tang’s experts were considered first-rate in the martial world. Unlike the Ling Xiao Palace, whose members varied in skill, just the strong archers alone would pose a huge challenge—to him aside, few could penetrate Yipin Tang’s headquarters under such heavy fire.
“How much is this?”
Kai Xin stopped in front of a shabby stall.
The owner of the stall was a young man in his twenties or thirties, wearing ordinary first-class weapons without any special rankings. He seemed quite ordinary, not even having a gang emblem. His eyes were lifeless, yet from time to time, he would glance at the people passing by in the market with a hopeful look.

Silver Fox and Xiao Bei glanced at the items on the stall, raising their eyebrows. Though they said nothing, their expressions clearly showed disdain—the items on the stall were shoddy, consisting of only three things: a tattered and poorly preserved secret manual titled “Carved Fire Dragon Claw,” which seemed like some inferior martial art created by a low-class gang; an ordinary gray porcelain bottle; and a key covered in rust.

Swish swish!
Xiao Bei, Silver Fox, Daozi, and the others all turned their attention to Kai Xin, seemingly puzzled as to why he would stop to show interest in such obviously inferior items.

Although the name “Carved Fire Dragon Claw” sounded impressive, and its worn state suggested it wasn’t one of those mass-produced secret manuals…
Although the gray porcelain bottle didn’t indicate the name of any pills, adding to its mystery;
Although the rust-covered key seemed to have a story behind it, there were countless such people in the Central Plains—many who liked to use such pretentious items to drive up prices, waiting for naive buyers to recognize their value.

But…
In front of Kai Xin, Xiao Bei, Daozi, and the others naturally said nothing…
Every minute’s earnings for Kai Xin were far greater than the value of these strange objects priced at hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so they really didn’t care.

Kai Xin, however, paid no attention to the astonished and curious gazes of the crowd. He slowly bent down and, as the stall owner’s eyes grew brighter, picked up the bottle from the stall and brought it to his nose to smell it. A pungent smell hit him…
Though it was harsh, Kai Xin merely frowned slightly, confirming that this was indeed what he had suspected.

“What’s this called? What’s its use?”
As Kai Xin examined the gray porcelain bottle, the stall owner quickly glanced at the crowd behind him. Noticing the extraordinary aura of Silver Fox, Xiao Bei, and the others, he roughly figured out Kai Xin’s status and identity. He showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing the question:

“I don’t really know its specific use. The contents inside this bottle can’t be poured out either. Its name is just Gray Porcelain Bottle. It seems to be some kind of mission item. I’ve tried hard to figure it out but haven’t succeeded.”

“Gray Porcelain Bottle, unknown properties, pungent smell… So it’s not surprising you set the price at five hundred thousand taels of silver.” Without hesitation, Kai Xin paid and put the gray porcelain bottle into his Qiankun Bag.

Others might not know, but Kai Xin did—he knew this wasn’t a mission item, nor was it some magical weapon or special pill…

On the contrary, it was just an ordinary potion prepared by a common sorcerer, used to expel poisons. Although the gray porcelain bottle appeared very ordinary, carrying it made ordinary poisons afraid to approach, and it also had a certain effect in suppressing poisonous miasma and gases—making it a truly rare item. However, due to its lasting effects and uniqueness, only those who paid close attention could notice it. Kai Xin had learned about such things in his past life, knowing they were extremely rare, yet still useful even when stored in a Qiankun bag, which was why he paid extra attention to them. Though with his current strength, he didn’t need to worry about poisons, spending five hundred thousand to acquire one was still a good deal. Finally selling his first item, the young vendor was both excited and somewhat regretful… Seeming to think that since such a mysterious porcelain bottle could catch the eye of a master like him, it must have incredible uses and higher value, he felt a slight sense of disappointment. “Brother, take another look at these two items—they’re not bad either. This secret manual was obtained through great effort from… Ah, you’re interested in this key. Let me tell you, it was found in a stone coffin cave. But it’s too dangerous there. If you go, it’ll cost one million taels of silver. Take it; I’ll give you the address…” “…” Kai Xin didn’t even glance at them again and simply left. The other two items had little value. As for the stone coffin cave, Xiao Bei might have a good chance there, as it was a place where senior experts from the Corpse Gate sect trained. Sending Xiao Bei there for experience could be beneficial, but not yet. Besides, there were quite a few of those keys, so Kai Xin guessed the young man must have quite a collection. “The items at this stall aren’t bad—foldable bows, black iron armor-piercing arrows; they’ll come in handy at the border…” “There are even pills that enhance innate attributes. How stupid—only priced at two million…” After opening his shop, Kai Xin seemed to unlock the door to his desire to shop. In one night, he spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver, showing Yin Hu and the others what it meant for a man to go shopping wildly.
